  1. Loved this recipe! I love pasta salad and I love tuna and this dressing really brought it all together. I used only about 1/2 the pasta amount and 1/2 the vinegar and used Greek seasoning instead of the oregano. I added the lettuce to the individual servings at the table so the lettuce wouldn't get soggy. Thanks for posting!
     
  2. Great fresh-tasting salad ! I reduced amount of vinegar to 1/8 of a cup and used roasted red and yellow peppers instead of grape tomatoes,since I did not have any. I also did not have any feta cheese so I used grated parmesan instead. Thank you very much. Will make it again.
     
  3. This is a GREAT salad SQ & has all our favorite salad ingredients! As you can see from my pic, I did take some Iclandic liberties but I stayed true to the heart & soul of your recipe in every way. I used cherry tomatoes for the grape-sized ones, spaghetti instead of shells & iceberg lettuce instead of mixed greens ... the last just because I couldn't help myself. I love iceberg lettuce & we don't see it often here. :-) The only other thing I did was to decrease the amt of vinegar slightly in the dressing to suit my DH. We loved this salad & it got a big YUM from both of us! Thx for sharing this keeper w/us!
     
  4. I have made this several times for pot lucks or for parties. It's always been a hit. It's nice to have a healthy but tasty dish to share at parties and that way, I know there's something I can eat! Plus, this is very easy to prepare. I've used low fat feta and it's come out just as good.

<p>Hello from suburban Fort Worth, Texas! <br /> <br /><br /> <br />______________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />*My rating system defined* <br /> <br />Very few recipes really knock my socks off - I love to cook but am not a gourmet. <br />This said: <br /> <br />***** - met all my expectations in taste &amp; appearance; directions were clear &amp; easy to follow. <br /> <br />**** - fell slightly short of my expectations in taste or appearance or directions were faulty or not completely clear. <br /> <br />*** - mediocre taste and/or appearance; most likely a recipe that I would not use again without much modification. <br /> <br />** - taste and/or appearance was not to my liking; a recipe that I would not attempt to modify or use again. <br /> <br />* - taste was absolutely not to my liking (I can't imagine ever using this rating as I can generally tell by the ingredients if I will enjoy the finished product or not) <br /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/chefbanner1.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;<br /><img src=http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j44/scmurray51/hagshat.jpg alt= /> <br />&nbsp;<br /><br />&nbsp;</p>
